The Easter Bunny Must Be Living Large In Beverly Hills

I’m sure of it. And he's probably living in a huge mansion somewhere in between Hugh Heffner’s and Lionel Richie’s. And he must have a Bentley for each day of the year too.

How does the Easter bunny afford such luxuries of fancy cars, gold chained eggs, well-endowed neighbors, and extraordinary love music at his beckon call? Well, Saturday afternoon the wife and I took our daughter to get her picture taken with him and the packages started at $35!And his setup at the mall was packed with an eager crowd practically holding up $100 dollar bills in the air. That bunny was probably pushing about 600 kids an hour through there.... it was like some kind of bunny picture taking assembly line:

Ha!! This made my howl!! Too funny!But you just wait til your little one gets in school and they send home forms for those darned school photos 3 times a year. Wait til you see the prices on those suckers! Gasp!!

Yeah, that's why we don't take the kids to see Easter Bunny. I mean, of course he doesn't talk. He just sits there, thinking about fornicating with girl bunnies, so he can have baby bunnies, all the while hoping he didn't mix the chocolate eggs up with the poo pellets in his workshop.

They take easter Bunny pictures? Wow. We haven't even braved Santa yet. That is just too crazy. I guess when the bunny saw the pimpin' sleight that santa rides, what with the eight attendants and all, he decided to get in on that racket.

We had bunnies living in the bush behind our house and then they got some sort of grim bunny disease where the fur fell out and then they died. The Easter bunny has forgotten where he came from, OBVIOUSLY.

My oldest kid was so scared of anyone in a costume that we never got into visiting Santa or the Easter Bunny, etc. My other two kids would be fine with it, but we don't go. I guess I'm saving some money there.

These photos remind me of my friends Halle and Rick, who took a velvet painting of Elvis around the world with them recently. They have pictures of Elvis at the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat, etc.

Stumbled on your blog for the first time this morning and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to reading more.

I've been trying to figure out what job I could do that wouldn't use my degrees and would allow me to pay off my student loans. I think I just need to invest in a bunny and santa costumes. Thanks for the tip!

I've long believed that Easter Bunny/Santa/fill-in-holiday-character-here photos were a big rip. That and the fact that we don't celebrate the holidays. That might be a limiting factor, too.

So to compensate, I'll occasionally bring my SLR to the mall, fitted with the Big Long Lens. They usually build their little villages on the ground floor, in the middle of a big atrium-like area. I go upstairs, surreptitiously prep the camera, then carefully lean over and call out to the costumed one as I trigger off a series of photos.

Well, it's finally happened the neighbor's daughter came over last Saturday and confronted the imps on their belief in the Easter Bunny and bullied them into questioning us as the reality that is 'The Bunny'.

I am sorry to state that the likelihood of said neighbor girl ever visiting our home within the next 6 years is very very slim!

Good thing my child runs screaming at any giant Easter Bunny and told me that the Easter Bunny is not real. Rabbits, like REAL rabbits are real, but not the Easter Bunny. I think she was picturing one like in your pictures...silly wabbit.

We didn't even take my daughter to see the bunny this year. Why? Because last year we went and it was stupid. We paid 20 bucks for a CD of her picture and you couldn't even see her it was so far away. Plus, the bunny was scary. No thank you! I'll dress up as a damn bunny before I do that again. ;)

Besides, I'm not contributing to that lifestyle. Lionel Richie? Now that means trouble.
